 ===== Replacing A Key Switch  =====
+Check the Electrical Section of [[techtalk:ih:elec03|IH]] or [[techtalk:evo:elec03|EVO]] for the OEM configuration of the Keyswitch.
+If you have to replace a keyswitch, realize that the 3-position keyswitches that are commonly available\\
+have the same internal operations but there are two different ways they are labelled:

+If you buy an older style switch (with B - IG - L functions) realize that you can use that switch\\
+on the later models, but the labels will not be correct for how you must connect it.
+If using the early switch on a later model, you will connect the wires as follows:
+^  Using Older Style 3-position Keyswitch on Newer Style Wiring  |||
+^ Switch Label ^ Connection From/To ^ Typical Wire Color |
+|  B  | FROM Main Circuit Breaker | RED wire |
+|  IG  | TO Accessory Fuse Only | RED/Gray wire |
+|  L  | TO All Other Fuses | RED/Black wire |
